Originally published at: [2.2 Patch Notes – Gems of War](http://gemsofwar.com/2-2-patch-notes/) The 2.2 Update is coming tomorrow… **New Event System** - There are 3 types of Events that can be run. They may be available all at once, or at different times: _Troop Bonus Events:_ - Troop Skills get increased by 25% - These events can be based on either Troop Type (like Knight or Dragon), or Troop Kingdom (like Khetar or Adana), or both! - The Skill Bonuses will apply to all game modes including the Arena - When multiple Troop Bonus Events are run at the same time, the bonuses will stack. _Bonus Resource Events:_ - Using a combination of either Troops, troop types, Troop Color, or Troop Kingdoms, construct a team that rewards bonus resources at the end of a victorious battle. - These events will sometimes apply to specific game modes and difficulties. _Collection Events:_ - Complete specific objectives such as: Killing enemies, killing troops of specific types or kingdoms, summoning troops, or playing treasure maps, to earn points. - Based on your point total, collect rewards for the event as you progress. Each event may contain up to 6 rewards. **New Shop Items** Several new bundles have been added to the Store: _Growth Packs_ - These packs give rewards for reaching certain levels in the game. - They may only be purchased once. - They will give appropriate rewards instantly, if purchased by a player who has already achieved some/all of the levels. - There are 2 types of Growth Packs: Growth Pack I & Growth Pack II Growth Pack I: - Costs $30 and contains $150 value of rewards - Gives rewards at levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 - At level 50 gives a bonus random Legendary troop Growth Pack II: - Costs $50 and contains $250 value of rewards - Gives rewards at levels 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 - At level 150 gives a bonus random Mythic troop _Path to Glory_ - Path to Glory Packs are 30-day subscription packs, that can be purchased once per month - Players may purchase both subscriptions at the same time if they want - There are 2 types of subscription packs: Path to Glory I + Path to Glory II - These packs may be repurchased once they expire. - You will not miss out if you do not collect them on consecutive days (i.e. if you have collected the Day 5 Reward, and you miss 2 days’ play, then when you log in, the pack will continue from the Day 6 Reward, running all the way up to Day 30). Path to Glory I: - Costs $15 and contains $75 value of rewards - Each day gives random consumables (Gems, Gold, Souls, etc) - On day 30, gives a random Legendary Troop Path to Glory II: - Costs $50 and contains $250 value of rewards - Each day gives traitstones - On day 30, gives a random Mythic Troop _VIP Bundle_ - $5 Bundle that gives 1 VIP key and a few miscellaneous consumables. - VIP keys can be used even if the player isn’t VIP 5. - Can be purchased 3 times per account. _Weapon Bundle_ - Costs $5 and contains an old event weapon along with a few miscellaneous consumables. _Typhoon of Keys_ - $100 bundle that has been brought over from the console versions - This pack contains a huge selection of keys of all types (including VIP) - 240 Gold Keys - 120 Glory Keys - 60 Gem Keys - 30 Event Keys - 15 VIP Keys _Other Shop Updates_ - Shop tabs have been reorganised to improve Shop layout - This includes Gold and Soul purchases now sharing a tab - We are changing the weekly rotation of shop bundles to always include the following: - Troop Bundle - Weapon Bundle - 2 Traitstone bundles of specific colors - Gem purchases of Gold and Souls now give significantly more rewards **General Changes** - Chat is now available in Treasure Hunt mini games. - Treasure Hunt now displays the number of turns taken as well as, current number of earned Traitstones. - Redeem Codes have been disabled in the Store. - Arena rewards have been increased. - New load screen has been added to game start up - Chest menu now always defaults to the Gold chest screen, rather than highest chest that players have keys for (like gem or event). **Balance Changes** _Elwyn_ - Increased his boost ratio from x1 to x3 - Base damage increased from 2 to 6 - Now gains Magic at level 16 _Gorgotha_ - Spell now cleanses Gorgotha. _Kraken_ - His legendary trait has been corrected to the original version. We’ve fixed the problem that caused his trait not to end the game correctly. _Manticore_ - Empowered changed to Fast. _Wulfgarok_ - Mana Cost reduced from 24 to 22 _Withering Touch_ - Spell changed to do Life Steal instead of flat true damage and life gain. _Runic Blade_ - Spell changed so that killing an enemy gives +10 to all Stats. **Troop Refunds** The following troop will be available for refund for the next week: - Manticore **Bug Fixes** - Fixed an issue where Guild Statue levels weren’t displaying above 100. - Fixed the issue where Kraken’s original 3rd trait would cause the game to get stuck if used to end the battle. - Fixed Guild chat messages – they no longer disappear when typing multiple lines. - Fixed Infernal King’s 3rd Trait triggering despite being stunned when he is killed. - Fixed various Avatar visual issues - Fixed an Avatar issue where the headwear displayed was matching costume Armor, instead of the selected custom headwear - Improved load times on Android and iOS devices. - Fixed an issue where guild tasks were not resetting correctly if a player was not in a guild when the weekly reset happens. - Fixed an issue where PVP Defences show as 0 PVP points. - Fixed a guild issue were number of guild members were sometimes displaying 1 more than actual guild members. - Fixed an issue where a player could start a new battle while in the middle of a battle through chat, causing the game to crash. - Adjusted team scores to take into account any Guild Stat bonuses. - Improved the load time of the News menu when the game first loads. - Fixed an issue where currency in Treasure or Arena intro was overlapping the menu popup on 4:3 devices **Known Issues** - A “ghost” Orbweaver Hero may be triggered when it summons a Giant Spider on damage that caused death. (This doesn’t affect the game – it’s just a visual issue) - Summoned Troops’ traits are sometimes not triggering correctly for some players. - Troops summoned by the AI can occasionally have higher Skills than normal (particularly on higher Warlord difficulties). - Transformed enemy’s traits are sometimes still triggering after being transformed for some players. - Guild Rewards may not be sent out correctly for some players when too many players complete tasks at once, particularly after Weekly Reset. - The Lion and Tiger Weapon is not working correctly for some players especially on older or slower devices. - Troops that get summoned into a team slot, where a troop had previously been killed by a status effect (such as burning), may very occasionally be inflicted with the same status effect. Please note this Update only applies to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.
